She looks so very lovely tonight And she's by a window telling stories And you can't help but laugh along with the crowd Then a slow song comes on And you're holding on to asking her for her hand But you're too late again when you see her in his arms instead You know this dance all too well All the red flags look tempting You still don't believe them You're wide-eyed once more It's the part where you think you're so sure So you're done with pretending That this isn't real And you're finding the words to confess Then she leaves you a mess 'Cause she loves you But just as a friend
